Care And Maintenance Of Your Septic Tank May Not Be A Money Maker, But It Surely Is A Cost Saver!

Components Of a Septic System

A septic system consists of the sewer drain, distribution box, septic tank and the leach field. The drain collects the discharge from toilets, kitchen sink, shower, laundry and is connected to the septic tank. The septic tank holds all the discharge, letting the heavy solids settle to the floor where it is broken down by bacteria to form a sludge. The lighter wastes decompose and rise to the top as scum. The distribution box distributes the waste water to the pipes in the trenches for absorption in the field. The leach field is the surrounding soil where this treated wastewater is disposed. The leach field is a system of trenches filled with gravel and stones, which must be of the proper size and constructed for long life operations. The vent permits the gas to exit the system that is built up in the plumbing.

Why septic tanks fail?

Septic tanks are loaded with solids which cause it to clog. If the tank is pumped periodically, the solids flow into the perforated pipes, clog the pores and become clogged. Root growth may cause clogging of the disposal lines and hinder the functioning of the drain field. If the ground water level is high, the problem of drainage arises.

Why Septic system installation and drain field maintenance is crucial?

A professional company that installs the septic system takes utmost care of designing the leach field as well. The tank is designed to let the sewage wastes settle. Pumping of the septic tank, keeping track of water consumption and periodic maintenance is necessary for efficient functioning of the wastewater system.

Installation of a septic tank ensures better quality of water, produces less foul odor, prevents water borne diseases and prove to be economically beneficial.

Septic drain field maintenance involves locating the system, checking of inspection ports and effluent filter, inspection of the sludge density, maintenance of the tank walls, drop box, pumps and distribution box and to restrict the growth of grass and shrub cover.

Maintenance of the septic system by a professional company reduces repair and replacement costs as well as does not contaminate ground water which poses a health hazard for the public.

Correct installation, design and ongoing maintenance of the septic system extends the functionality and life of the septic wastewater management system. Regular maintenance almost eliminates the risk of water contamination and saves you thousands of dollars in repair cost.
